activein force · 2010-06-01 – presentas-observed

NOTE WELL: If the offense involves furnishing a deadly weapon,

cartridge or ammunition to an inmate, use N.C.P.I.—Crim.

233.81. If the offense involves furnishing an alcoholic beverage

to an inmate, use N.C.P.I.—Crim. 233.82. If the offense involves

The defendant has been charged with furnishing 1 a controlled

substance to an inmate of a [[charitable] [mental] [penal] institution] [local

confinement facility].

For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must

prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:

First, that (name inmate) was an inmate of a [[charitable] [mental]

[penal] institution] [local confinement facility]. (Name facility) is a

[[charitable] [mental] [penal] institution] [local confinement facility].

And Second, that while said inmate was an inmate of (name facility),

the defendant knowingly 2 [sold] [gave] 3 a controlled substance 4 to [the

inmate] [[another] [others] to give to the inmate]]. (Name substance) is a

controlled substance under the laws of this State.

If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or

about the alleged date (name inmate) was an inmate at (name facility) and

that the defendant knowingly [sold] [gave] (name controlled substance,

e.g., marijuana) to [the inmate] [[another] [others] to give to the inmate]],

it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or

have a reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things, it would be your

duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
